On the night of Nov. 4, 1875, the SS Pacific departed from Esquimalt en route to San Francisco during poor weather conditions. The paddle wheeler was believed to be carrying at least 275 passengers. Shortly after departing, the SS Pacific collided with another ship and later sank off the coast of Washington State.“I’ve known about this ship for about 40 years.
“It wasn’t until we identified the paddlewheels and then looked at those with the underwater robot, that we’re able to determine that this ship is indeed the Pacific,” said the company’s president.According to 2009 paper named The SS Pacific founders off Cape Flattery with a loss of 275 lives on November 4, 1875
The sinking of that vessel was one of the worst maritime disasters in Canada of the time. I do hope we get to see a full documentary of what it took to find it, and what they do find, plus some of the history behind the lives that were lost on that ship and it's consequences.
Who does the gold belong to if it is found? In the past some other country’s believe they are entitled to at least some if not all of it.
Interesting! It’s too bad we don’t display colonial artifacts in BC anymore.
Where did the gold come from?
It’s mine. My family owned the boat.
Why only now after so many years
